Preliminary conclusion: The Huode lineage belongs to the fifth-generation grandson of Li Dong, whose ancestral home is Ninghuanshibi, Tingzhou (Lijiafang, Quanshang Town, Ninghua County). There are several ancient genealogies as supporting evidence: See Genealogy (Genealogy of Mude Gongfang in Changting), "Preface to the Genealogy of the Li Family" Daoshenggong (Shenglang, also known as Yiggong), a Jinshi of the Song Dynasty, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was buried in Litian Village, Qingliu County Inside. He gave birth to a son, Meng Gong (also known as Qi Gong), Meng Gong had a son, Zhu Gong, and Zhu Gong had six sons: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and field. Zhugong moved to Shibi. Due to the war in the late Song Dynasty, he could not stay in Shibi for a long time, so Jin Degong stayed in Huaitu and Hekou area. Mu Degong moved to Changting and Kaiki, becoming the ancestor of the Li family in Changting. His descendants lived in Changting, Qingliu, In the area of ​​​​the Chang School, see the genealogy (Chang Ting Mude Gongfang Genealogy). Huo Degong moved to Fenglang Township in Shengyunli, Shanghang and became the founding ancestor of the Li family in Shanghang. His descendants lived in southwestern Fujian and Guangdong. They were the most prosperous branch under the throne of Xinfu. The eighth generation of Huo Degong in Shanghang Sun "Chongcheng, Mingshan" 2014-09-16 16:19:08 Supplement: The genealogy was compiled in early 1406, and the "Preface to the Genealogy of the Li Family" written by Chunling He Qi, the supervisory censor, in 1411 recorded: "... ...If you look at the genealogy, you will know that the Li family is from Longxi. Because the ancestor Weng traveled to Ting, the family used the Ning of Ting to transform the territory of Lijiafang (i.e. Lifang on the spring). In the Song Dynasty, there was a great deal of trouble, and Huo Deweng moved to Shanghang. In Fenglang Township, where the fortune is, the house is built on a stone..." 2014-09-17 10:38:37 Supplement: The Li family came from four directions - a brief discussion of the origin of the Li surname in Chaoshan The Li surname was born in the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties , Li Yuan is the reason. Gaotao, the ancestor of the Li surname, is said to be the great-grandson of Shaohao, the leader of the ancient Dongyi tribe. He was born in Qufu, Shandong, and succeeded to the leadership of the Dongyi tribe. In the later period of the patriarchal clan society, Shun became the leader of the tribe and appointed Gao Tao as Dali (the official in charge of prisons in ancient times), later called Liguan. Gaotao was famous for his good management of punishment and prison, and stabilized the social order. Later, the surname was named Li after his official position. 2014-09-17 10:39:07 Supplement: It was more than 3000 years ago that the Li family got the surname. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was tyrannical and cruel, and the princes rebelled. Gaotao's descendants were appointed as state officials. Out of loyalty, they piously pointed out that King Zhou He tried to persuade him to correct his mistakes, but he was killed. Li Zheng's wife fled with their young child Li Lizhen. When they fled to the long-abandoned old city, mother and son were so hungry and thirsty that they looked for food everywhere. Finally, they found the remaining fruits (i.e., "muzi") on the trees and picked them to satisfy their hunger. , to save the lives of mother and child. The mother and son traveled to Ku County in eastern Henan (now east of Luyi County, Henan) and settled down. In order to remember the life-saving contribution of "Muzi", Li Lizhen combined Muzi and Zi into Li, and changed his name to Li Lizhen as his surname. It has been more than 3,000 years since the surname was obtained. 2014-09-17 10:39:53 Supplement: People surnamed Li experienced several major migrations. 1. During the Han Dynasty, people surnamed Li had many new settlements across the country. For example, "Historical Records: Biography of Laozi" records: Li Gong, the grandson of Li Er (Laozi), and Li Jia, the great-great-grandson of Li Gong, served as officials in the court of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty.

Li Jie's son, Li Jie, served as King Liu Taifu of Jiaoxi. He stayed in Gaomi, the capital of Jiaoxi (today's southwest of Gaomi County, Shandong), and then developed southward to Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces. For example, Li Jin, the governor of Jiaozhi during the Eastern Han Dynasty, later settled in Gaoyao County (now part of Guangdong). 2014-09-17 10:40:11 Supplement: 2. The southward migration of people with the surname Li in the Tang Dynasty. There were frequent wars in the Tang Dynasty, and many people with the surname Li moved to Fujian and Guangdong due to many reasons such as avoiding the chaos. There were two main migrations to the south: 1. Following Chen Zheng and his son to Fujian. In the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial court sent Chen Zheng as the general manager of the Lingnan march and led troops to southern Fujian to quell the Xiao rebellion of the barbarians. Later, his son Chen Yuanguang succeeded him and quelled the Xiao rebellion. Among them, many people surnamed Li moved to Chaoshan. Li Boyao, a former general from Gushi, Henan, followed Chen Zheng and his son to Fujian to develop Zhangzhou. He made outstanding achievements and stayed in Zhangzhou. His descendants are scattered in Longxi, Zhangpu, Fujian, Chaoshan, Guangdong and other places. 2. Entered Fujian with the Wang brothers. During the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains region was in turmoil for a long time. Brothers Wang Chao and Wang Shenzhi from Gushi in Henan led an uprising and later established the Min Kingdom in Fujian. Some people surnamed Li from Henan followed the Wang brothers to Fujian and settled in Putian, Jinjiang and other places. Later, they developed westward and were distributed in the Chaoshan area. 2014-09-17 10:40:29 Supplement: 3. Migrated south after the "Jingkang Incident". In the winter of the first year of Jingkang of the Northern Song Dynasty (1126), the Jin soldiers captured Kyoto (now Kaifeng, Henan). In April of the following year, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom captured thousands of people including Emperors Huizong and Qinzong and their clan members and went north. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and it was known as the Jingkang Incident in history. In June 1127, Kang Wang Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian Mansion (now south of Shangqiu, Henan), and it was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history. People from the Central Plains moved south on a large scale many times, including many officials and civilians named Li, as well as people named Li who were members of the anti-Jin rebel army. For example, Li Xing led an anti-Jin rebel army of more than 10,000 people (many of them surnamed Li), who crossed south to join the Southern Song Dynasty, and even flowed into Fujian, Chaoshan and other places.

The Li family originated from Qubu, Shandong. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was unruly and the princes rose up to resist. The Li family fled to Ku County, Henan; they also experienced wars in the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, and then to To escape the war in the south, they migrated to Fujian, Chaoshan and other places; there were more than a dozen families surnamed Li who settled in Chaoshan. Among them, the Li Zong family first settled in Chaozhou City, and his fifth-generation grandson Li Min then moved to Duxian City, Liwan, where it is now Chenghai, so Li Min should be your ancestor; (Li Mingshan’s family settled in Mianxian Lane, North Gate, Chaozhou City, and his tenth generation grandson is Li Ka-shing of Changshi Group);
